Elite Athletes created the Golf Department at the beginning of 2023, capitalizing on the experience and expertise built in university placement over the past 10 years. We aim to enable and support young student-athletes who are motivated to pursue this dual project at an American university.

With over 10 years of experience in the sports industry, I received an athletic scholarship in 2009 to join the team at Northeastern State University (Oklahoma), which was ranked in the NCAA D2 top 10 at the time. I hold a Master’s degree in Business Management. I served as Western Europe Director and Director of Business Development for the two largest sports scholarship agencies in the world. Over my seven years with these organizations, I supported hundreds of athletes and helped their families save more than $5,000,000 in athletic scholarships.

"My debut at O U went really well, I quickly got on well with the team! The coaches are really good, and everything is done to make sure we succeed! I'm very happy to be here and I can't wait for what's to come."

"It's indescribable how much this experience has brought me. Whether socially, athletically or even humanly, I've questioned so many things about my personal projects, my life goals, my vision of athletics, my relationships with friends and family, myself, what I really love and so on... Of course, it hasn't all been good, but it's precisely these difficult moments that have made the experience even more beautiful... This 1st year has made me grow and I'm so grateful to all the people who have approached me from near and far and allowed me to live this..."

"Everything is great! The infrastructure, the university, the level of sport and the resources available to the athletes are excellent. We are very well surrounded, whether by our friends, coaches or university staff, who are all there to help us integrate. The only difficulty I encountered was an injury right at the start of pre-season, but thanks to the medical staff, I was able to recover quickly and play again."

"It's been almost two and a half years now that, thanks to Elite Athlete Agency, I've been living a unique experience in the US. My experience as a student-athlete in an American university is going wonderfully; going to study and play college soccer was the best decision of my life! The agency plays an important role in my experience, as they are very available, and follow you through the best times as well as the hardest. I would recommend anyone who has the opportunity to come and study and play in the US not to hesitate for a single second, because this experience makes us grow as humans, thanks to the encounters and experiences we have."

"At first, the language was a bit tricky. It was especially from Fall onwards that things got better, because my English had improved, so it was easier to exchange ideas and make new acquaintances. The schedules are well arranged to optimize our sporting performance, which is nice! "
